perlquestion ggerke <p> Most wise and virile Monks, please show me the error of my ways. </p> <p> I'm having what I think is a problem with modules (not) being installed but I'm not finding the one that's actually causing me grief. I've got the following: </p> <code> #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new; $mech->get('http://www.perlmonks.com/'); print $mech->content; </code> <p> that generates the following: </p> <p> Uncaught exception from user code: Error GETing http://www.perlmonks.com/: Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported at ./test2.pl line 9. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 2751. </p> <p> WWW::Mechanize::_die('Error ', 'GET', 'ing ', 'URI::http=SCALAR(0x10dbc80)', ': ', 'Protocol scheme \'http\' is not supported') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 2738 </p> <p> WWW::Mechanize::die('WWW::Mechanize=HASH(0xed47d0)', 'Error ', 'GET', 'ing ', 'URI::http=SCALAR(0x10dbc80)', ': ', 'Protocol scheme \'http\' is not supported') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 2385 </p> <p> WWW::Mechanize::_update_page('WWW::Mechanize=HASH(0xed47d0)', 'HTTP::Request=HASH(0x10dbea0)', 'HTTP::Response=HASH(0x1162710)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 2217 </p> <p> WWW::Mechanize::request('WWW::Mechanize=HASH(0xed47d0)', 'HTTP::Request=HASH(0x10dbea0)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 410 </p> <p> LWP::UserAgent::get('WWW::Mechanize=HASH(0xed47d0)', 'http://www.perlmonks.com/') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 407 </p> <p> WWW::Mechanize::get('WWW::Mechanize=HASH(0xed47d0)', 'http://www.perlmonks.com/') called at ./test2.pl line 9 </p> <p> I'm "blessed" with using at Perl 5.8.8 on a RHEL 5.8 server and getting up to current isn't a healthy option at this time. As far as WWW::Mechanize I've got the following on the machine: </p> <code> $ ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW total 104 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 23 12:56 Mechanize -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 79472 Feb 2 16:38 Mechanize.pm drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 23 12:47 RobotRules -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11155 Feb 18 06:05 RobotRules.pm $ ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/LWP/Protocol/http.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 13822 Feb 11 08:02 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/LWP/Protocol/http.pm $ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9800) Enter 'h' for help. cpan[1]> install WWW::Mechanize WWW::Mechanize is up to date (1.72). cpan[2]> install LWP::UserAgent LWP::UserAgent is up to date (6.04). cpan[3]> install LWP::Protocol LWP::Protocol is up to date (6.00). cpan[4]> install HTTP::Request HTTP::Request is up to date (6.00). cpan[5]> install HTTP::Response HTTP::Response is up to date (6.03). </code> <p> I'm just not seeing what I'm missing in order to get just this little bit 'o code to run. Help me, Obi Perl - you're my only hope.
